Haleiwa Joe's Haiku Gardens - Kaneohe

Got there around 4:45, were quoted over an hour and 15 minute wait but were seated probably within about 30 minutes. (The food also came out in a quick pace, but it was not rushed. • Seafood chowder was VERY tasty (especially the croutons which surprised me! . • Sizzling Mushroom appetizer was simple and delicious. • Prime rib was legit. Very fatty and flavorful, well balanced horseradish sauce. • Grilled fish was a fun flavor combination and cooked to a good consistency. Non alcoholic drink options were decent, I did a guava-rita, it should have been shaken so the whole thing was cold, but flavor was good. Service was excellent hostesses (and the manager I presume were polite and made good eye contact, the server was efficient and cleared all plates and they were done. We didn’t save room for dessert, but we will definitely be going back just for an appetizer and dessert next time.

Amazing food, great service good price. Wow, definitely going here again! I hope they get french onion soup one day!

Only 4 stars because you have to get there 2 hours before they open to get in line if you want THE table. But as someone who waited in that line, it's worth every minute. They could have sold cereal, and it would have been worth it. Take turns in line while you're waiting and walk down to the gardens. But trust me on getting there early. The pictures don't do it justice.

Fantastic food and drinks! Great service! Great view! Great atmosphere! What else could you want? I had the steamed fish (Mahi Mahi) which was delicious. I also tried the prime rib, baked fish, calamari, mushrooms, and poke. Everything was great.

They do not take reservations and open at 5 PM. While you wait for your table you can make your way down to the gardens for photos at the gazebo or just the open lawn with surrounding plants and flowers. The food was delicious and I would get everything again. We were fortunate enough to have a spot right at the edge of the restaurant that overlooked the gardens. Service was pretty quick but I think the servers were stretched thin because it took awhile to see our server to get dessert and the check. Overall, I would definitely go back!
